Red Leaf Salad with Grapefruit
Red Leaf Salad with Grapefruit
Description
This salad combines diverse flavors and textures, with pink grapefruit adding striking color against burgundy leaves. The simple oil and vinegar dressing lets the fruit, nuts, and onions shine. Grapefruit provides immune-boosting vitamin C, while almonds offer vitamin E, which studies link to heart health benefits.
